Zinnia

(1997)(The second book in the Curtain: Futuristic World of St. Helen's series)A novel by Jayne Castle

Jayne Ann Krentz writes as Jayne Castle for her stories set in the future, as Amanda Quick for historical romances, but whatever name she chooses, her dazzling bestsellers capture readers from the first sentence and keep them aboard through the last page of the story. Zinnia Spring's nickname, the "Scarlet Lady," would stop most women cold, but Zinnia rises above it by dressing defiantly in red! Ever since a tabloid ruined her reputation and her interior design business, this headstrong young woman has made a living using her psychic abilities - a highly prized skill that sets her apart on the space colony of St. Helen's. But when she's hired by casino owner Nick Chastain, their meeting of the minds - and hearts - has her seeing stars.

"Dazzling...a scintillating foray into love in another place and time." (Melinda Helfer, Romantic Times)
